So there’s really no choice but to include a book that the author describes as fast, fluffy, and filthy. 😊 Once they did (and of course one time only was not enough) it was on and had all the steaminess I expect from Blakely.

The Bodyguard is a sweet and fun romance about a female bodyguard assigned to protect a very handsome movie star. Each mistake teaches you something new about yourself. There is no failure, remember, except in no longer trying. It is the courage to continue that counts. non-existent to the point there’s not even anything NEGATIVE to say. the faking dating trope was pointless because they fake-dated for like a few days? it’s unclear really Hannah Brooks looks like a sweet, petite kindergarten teacher- but she is actually a competent bodyguard who could kill you with a wine bottle opener or a dinner napkin, if she had to. Alicia doesn’t want to be guarded. She just wants to have fun. With no clue that Connor is her bodyguard, she tries to escape the Secret Service and lead him astray. But unknown to her and Connor, a terrorist sleeper cell has been activated.My head says 4 stars but my body is less guarded !!! So heart wins this time. Was this hot? Did temperatures rise?? anywho, jake literally screamed at hannah because she walked into this very dangerous river and nearly drowned. why? because she didn’t KNOW the river was dangerous 😱

In the Vatican, the Pope and other senior Vatican officials are protected by the Pontifical Swiss Guard, Swiss mercenary soldiers who act as bodyguards, ceremonial guards, and palace guards. After the May 13, 1981, assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II by Mehmet Ali Ağca, the guards were given enhanced training in unarmed combat and firearm use. The pope's chief bodyguard is the Inspector General of the Corps of Gendarmerie of Vatican City. I loved this story! So why not the full 5 stars? A couple scenes of dialogue dragged on a bit too long, I couldn’t quite buy into the rationale of the ending event, and the oft dreaded epilogue went just a wee bit moralizing for my taste. Despite these things, I truly enjoyed my time with this story, and I’ll be watching for more from this author!Let’s all swoon for the man who wants to be there for his mother while she’s going through cancer treatments. at the end of the book, we discover jake’s stalker wasn’t a woman who knitted jake’s sweaters of his face, like they originally thought. it was a guy that was mad his wife left him for jake...because she was obsessed with him. The military forces in many countries offer close protection training for the members of their own armed forces who have been selected to work as bodyguards to officers or heads of state (for example, the British 22nd Special Air Service Regiment). As well, there are a number of private bodyguards training programs, which offer training in all aspects of close protection and including the legal aspects of body-guarding (e.g., use of force, use of deadly force); how to escort clients; driving; searching facilities and vehicles, and so on. i’m feeling like the biggest hater right now because there truly was nothing i enjoyed about this book.

Petite, ordinary, maybe stumpy legged, Hannah Brooks works as an Executive Protection Agent. Life was hard growing up and Hannah has trust issues. She learned that no one would take care of her so she had to take care of herself. And now she makes a living taking care of others. She is obsessed with working, she always wants to be on the job. She wants no downtime, never takes vacation, and is considered boring by the guy who just dumped her. Worse yet is that he told her she is a lousy kisser. Dating two years and now he tells her!

Ransom

This is a fun, good read. It’s a bodyguard romance that then morphs into a fake relationship romance that pushes Lydia and Erik even closer together. The military forces in many countries offer close protection training for the members of their own armed forces who have been selected to work as bodyguards to officers or heads of state (e.g., the British RMP – Royal Military Police, Close Protection Unit). In the private sector, there are a vast number of private bodyguard training companies, which offer training in all aspects of close protection relative to their local laws and threat level, including the legal aspects of physical protection (e.g., use of force, use of deadly force), how to escort clients, driving drills, searching facilities and vehicles, etc. i also dont think it helps that this is a slow burn romance, which would have worked really well if this had a more serious and realistic tone. but because its supposed to be upbeat and light, it definitely needed some of that banter and tension to balance it out. so not having any sort of romance show up until the 85% mark is just too late to make a difference. At some point, the lines got blurred and these two madcaps often forgot that the relationship wasn't real.

Yes there were parts that were hard to believe, but actors are just people after all, even if they are incredibly handsome. As it turns out he’s also tenderly sweet, funny and a downright nice guy. Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with her bare hands. But the truth is, she's an elite bodyguard and she's just been hired to protect a superstar actor from his stalker. Maximoff Hale is headstrong, resilient, and wholly responsible. The twenty-two-year-old alpha billionaire can handle his unconventional life, having been born into one of the most famous families in the country. Special thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

Assassin

This book delivered so much. I’d call it a friends-to-lovers story between businesswoman and bodyguard with a bit of corporate espionage and suspense wrapped up in the perfect fake relationship angst. How can you pass that up?! In other countries with no specific regulations, training providers are allowed to shape their programs according to their needs. Heavy focus on physical training and shooting, neglecting intelligence and the strategic part of the job for marketing reasons, has been recently criticized as useless and called "bodyguard amusement tourism" by the International Association of Personal Protection Agents (IAPPA).
